A compact, deciduous shrub with dazzling lime-green foliage which contrasts brilliantly with the spires of violet-violet flowers that are produced in late summer & early autumn. It needs full sun for the leaf colour to develop well, although it will tolerate some light shade. Great as an accent plant in a border of blues & violets. Flowers July-September. Height 90-100cm (3'-3'3); spread 60cm (24). Supplied in a 2 litre pot.
